Laboratory: Lipids and Lipoproteins Flashcards
Combining of complex lipids is called
Esterification
Plasma is 93% water but can be mixed with lipids due to
lipoproteins via coating. True or False?
True
Largest lipoprotein but least dense
Chylomicron
These two are the transporters of triglycerides
Chylomicrons
VLDL
These two are the transporters of cholesterol
LDL
HDL
Chylus specimen indicates post-meal with the presence of __?
White creamy float
What causes the turbidity of specimen?
VLDL
VLDL increase is from protein increase. True or False?
False, it is from carbohydrate, saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids (dietary absorption)
Agent that increases risk of
atherosclerosis
Proatherogenic
It carries cholesterol from the liver to the tissues
LDL
Endogenous or stored TGs are carried by ____ from
liver to tissues
VLDL
Prevents occurrence of athersclerosis
Antiatherogenic
Higher LDL can mean in lower risk of cardiovascular
disease. True or False?
False, it is higher HDL that indicates lower risk of CVD
Structure of HDL that does not carry any lipids
Discoidal or nascent
HDL that carries lipids are most commonly seen as what shape or structure?
Spherical
Delay or error in conversion of VLDL to LDL
Type III hyperlipoproteinimia
Transient products of VLDL lipolysis
IDL
Similar structure with VLDL and LDL minus Apo B-100, replaced by albumin
Lipoprotein X
Elevated levels of LP X can result to kidney failure. True or False?
True
Determination of of size of lipoprotein is based on _?
Lipid content
Density of lipoprotein is based on _?
Protein content
